The Shia source of emulation further condemned Al Khalifah's decision to strip Sheikh Issa Qassim of his Bahraini citizenship saying, "We strongly condemn Al Khalifah's decision and ask Muslims around the world to voice solidarity in support of Ayatollah Issa Qassim. We also ask Bahraini Muslim youth to continue their fight against Al Khalifah regime."

Amnesty International expressed deep concern from Bahraini human rights activist Ibtisam Al-Saegh being at risk, and called on the "Bahraini authorities to immediately and unconditionally" release her.

"Most of the events that are taking place today are such issues. There is a world of difference between a fair, impartial and humane judgment, and the biased and malevolent judgment of westerners, their politicians and their propaganda apparatuses. An example is the issue of Bahrain. Another example is the issue of Yemen. Another example is the issue of Syria." said Ayatollah Khamenei.

“Al Khalifah regime showed the world the height of its cruel nature by attacking Shaykh Isa Qassim’s house in Bahrain’s al-Diraz to serve the orders of its American and Saudi masters.” said Grand Ayatollah Noori.
